PHIL 1301 Introduction to Philosophy Discussion
Looking over the initial material on the definitions of philosophy in
topic one of the course, which definition (Aristotle, Novalis,
Wittgenstein) would you say gives you the best feel for philosophy? What
is it about the definition that interests you? what other questions do
you have regarding the meaning of philosophy? what potential problems do you see with any of the particular definitions?
